Which is the better system out there? Fast Toys ram air, Slp flopac, or the free ram air mod? I'm looking for the most rwhp and most et and mph that can be gained from one of these systems. Or is there a better system out there I'm not aware of? Any suggestions or opinions will be greatly appreciated

I also just read about the Super Sucker Ram Air (SSRA) system. Any opinions or suggestions or are they all a waist of money. Would the free ram air mod give me the same gains? I'm trying to get every bit of power I can out of the bolt ons I have and need some opinions before I waste my money

The chrs1313 has the biggest piping. Contact Chris on here directly or Speed Inc. sells it.

I'll check it out. Do you recommend it over the others? Another question. Does the free ram air mod have to be performed for these to work

Usually. I have the ssra and I had to do the free ram air mod to fit the air scoop under the lower air box. Pretty sure the fast toys ram air and chris1313 do the same thing.

Thanks. I never really paid attention to any of these systems until now and trying to find out as much as I can before I buy one

https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...air-worth.html That should answer most of your questions. There is an A/C compatible version too so don't let the first couple post scare you away.... I didn't reread the entire thread but IIRC Chris posts in there at some point...

Yeah I just found that post about an hour ago and have been reading it since lol. Very helpful info. I appreciate it. Sounds like its worth the money to me

My friend has the chris1313 ram air. He wasn't happy with it. His car ran very hot, and it was made poorly. Also you had to cut up the hood latch brace to fit it in or remove it

That's the NON AC version. I have it. I know.

I don't know where you're getting poorly made from, however. Mine fits / functions / looks great.

Also, I live in south Louisiana. My car never ran hot with my LS1 radiator. Only reason I have an LT1 radiator now is because my old ls1 radiator finally cracked.

OP, Chrs1313 has a GREAT kit, and I'm positive you'll like and notice the gains.

How's the JAAM ram air kit?

If it gives me a couple tenths and a couple mph like everyone says that makes it worth it to me. That's a couple cars on the street which is mostly what my car sees

IMO the SSRA is the best. I really like the construction of it. Dont be fooled that its not strong just because its plastic. I will tell you its VERY sturdy. I had one on my old 98z28 and liked it so much I have another one on my current 01ss. I also like the plastic because it dosent heat soak like the metal CAI kits. The SSRA kit is the only one that has a long extended duct that attatches under the car with the opening of that duct flush to the available cooler air.
Now what about performance of the SSRA? Heres my track results...

Im running the a/c version of the SSRA
Not to bash anyones CAI kit design or anything but im a sheetmetal mechanic by trade and theres one kit out there that is just to flimsy for my taste. I dont really care for the cutting of the hood latch either but just my opinion

I'm still trying to decide which one to get. Cutting the hood latch is something I'm taking into consideration too. Do you have any pics of that install on your link?

Chris1313 is a good piece. Cutting the hood latch support is extremely minor. It doesnt affect anything.

I love how the chrs1313 looks under the filter. It looks sweet. Anyone have any pics of the other systems installed? Id like to see what they look like under the filter or any pics you have

i have a slp on mine it fits great no overheating issues and i drive mine ever day have been in bumper to bumper traffic with the ac wide open and 100 degree heat is it the best for max power and track time idk i have never had any other brand but if you want the best advise anyone will give you pick up whichever one you can get for the best deal because there in no way there could be a big power difference from one to another

I'm leaning towards the SSRA. I've seen pics with the chrs1313 under the filter. Id like to see some pics of the others. I found it brand new for $159. Not a sponsor site though

Anyone with the SSRA what modifications did you have to do besides cutting the airbox with the free air mod?
